On the question of cremation. Barthel (Vr. g., 1928, No. 4)

Abstract

According to Barthel the cremation business is most widely spread in Germany, where there are 76 crematoriums and the number of cremations in 1926 reached 40,000, while in Berlin they constituted 38% of all burials, and in Jena - even 72%. In Italy there are 38 crematoriums, in America - 87. In the USSR we have only one crematorium in Moscow, since the Leningrad crematorium, which functioned in 1920-1921, was closed. Now the question of building a crematorium has arisen again in Leningrad.
